1. 6. Growth pattern and nutritional intake as predictors for retinopathy of prematurity

   Författare :Pia Lundgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinopathy of prematurity; Preterm infant; Birth weight; Risk factor; Nutrition; Weight gain;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight-threatening disease that affects extremely preterm and very preterm infants. Approximately 5–10% of infants screened for ROP go on to develop severe ROP that requires treatment. LÄS MER

3. 7. Retinal morphology and function in prematurely-born children at school age

   Författare :Hanna Åkerblom; Gerd Holmström; Anne Fulton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Retinopathy of prematurity; Prematurity; Retinal development; OCT; Fullfield ERG; Multifocal ERG; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

   Sammanfattning : Preterm birth may lead to complications during the neonatal period that can cause visual dysfunctions. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and neurological complications are well known reasons for visual dysfunctions, but preterm children with no or only mild ROP and no evident neurological problems may also be affected visually when they grow up.

4. 8. Experimental inhibition of proliferative retinopathy

   Författare :Sylvia Almlöf Sarman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Retinal ischemic diseases like retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DRP) and retinal vein occlusion, with preretinal neovascularization (angiogenesis) that may lead to vitreous hemorrhages and retinal detachment with subsequent vision loss and blindness is a global health problem. By analyzing the potential role of molecules acting at different levels of the angiogenic cascade the presented studies aimed to widen our understanding of retinal ischemic diseases on a molecular, cellular and morphologic level.

5. 9. Structure and Function of the Retina in Children Born Extremely Preterm and in Children Born At Term

   Författare :Anna Molnar; Gerd E. Holmström; Eva K. B. Larsson; Sten O. Andréasson; Christopher J. Lyons; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; optical coherence tomography; multifocal electroretinogram; full-field electroretinography; extremely preterm children; retinopathy of prematurity; gestational age; gender; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT), multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and full-field electroretinography (ffERG) give important information about retinal structure and function.Purpose: To collect normative data of macular Cirrus Spectral domain (SD)-OCT assessments and of mfERG measurements of healthy children (papers I and II).

7. 10. The impact of early nutrition on extremely preterm infants

   Författare :Elisabeth Stoltz Sjöström; Magnus Domellöf; Inger Öhlund; Deborah O'Connor; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Energy intake; enteral intake; extremely preterm infants; folate; growth failure; human milk; iron; macronutrients; malnutrition; micronutrients; nutrient intake; patent ductus arteriosus; protein; retinopathy of prematurity; surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Background Modern neonatal care has improved the survival rate of extremely preterm infants. These infants are at high risk of malnutrition and growth failure during 3-4 months of hospital care. LÄS MER
